- ...ya know, you simply can''t avoid the Clinton comparisons when you see this sort of thing. And while, sure - plenty of Republicans have done the same thing... when conservatives get CAUGHT - it''s usually liberals who are leading the charge to bury them... especially the likes of the Nat''l Organization for Women. And their fellow Republicans usually sit by & let em hang by their own rope... But what''s funny is that when it was CLINTON caught for doing this - did the N.O.W. & the rest of the liberals clan, or even most of the Democratic leadership look to hang him out to dry??? Nope - they talked about ''Private Matters'' and ''Consenting Adults'' and ''JFK did it too''... even as they fought tooth & nail to destroy any Republican or businessman who had done the same thing... but I WILL say that after Clinton, the N.O.W. lost most of its credibility, especially in these matters - and liberals HAVE toned it down juuuust a bit... I mean, they still applaud McGreevy & villify Mr. Toe Tapper - but hey, they''re liberals... whadduya expect...

- If he is doing such a good job why didn''t they just confront the two of them in private and taken care of this discreetly? Why make a national issue out of this? This just twists the knife in the family''s back. I can''t see firing the guy over this unless they were fiddling around during working hours.

- Well Get this, to get that Job I guarantee you, you''ll have to have some sort of a 4 year College Degree, Not likely to hire anybody with common sense off the street. So, my comment, would be it seems that if you have College or went to an INY League University, it appears you think your entitled to do anything you want, as you like, without consequences, and Ohh Ya,, I need Big Bucks to do this job , plus outrageous benefits and a buyout package too !!! Believe its time to start hiring High school drop outs, least they''ll try harder at their jobs than these overglorified college jerks, who think the world owes them !!!!!

According to memos I saw during Katrena it was the city that wouldn''t let the Red Cross leave food or bedding in town but insisted it be taken out of town and brought back in.
These were on day 0, 1, 2 and 3 of the storm they weren''t fixed up after the fact.
All disasters are local and a local problem. Local people are the ones that solve the problem. The Red Cross, FEMA and all the rest are set up to help local leaders.
When local leaders fail it takes time for some one to realize the problem, get someone there to solve it and finally solve it.- Reply to this comment

- His picture makes mne sick. Looks like some upper management guys where I work. The same selfish, vacant, evil look. This creature is worthy of nothing but swift disposal. A thief who stole $500,000 per year from the Red Cross, and this crime of his against his workplace and his employees is only the tip of the iceberg, he is in so deep with every kind of betrayals and evil. Just a waste of food, a waste of speace, nothing to redeem, use his carcass for fertilizer maybe we can feed some of the victims of Katrina.

- Did all this happen because of wiretapping, since Bush is the head and Chertoff and Rice on the board I bet they had a wiretap on them.

- Sorry this had to happen. But things do happen. Since we''''re on the subject of the Red Cross. I have something to do with Amateur/Ham radio.. Did I hear/see that the Red Cross wants their agency to conduct background checks on volunteers ?? The American Radio Relay League (ham radio group) out of Newington, Ct., is in disagreement with the Red Cross on their background check issues. Any comments ?? I can see both sides of the story. The main thing that turns me off or irks me on the background check issue.. Is that the Red Cross will not accept anyone else''''s background check.. Even if we''''ve been doing public Service for years.. Some of us have background checks done by Federal, State, or County agencies.. But NO DICE on that from the Red Cross. They gotta do their own.. Why ?? What has happened ?? What brought this about ?? And why are they so firm on their own background checks ?? This probably does not have any relation to what has happend or what this posting is about.. Any comments ??

Jobber you asked some good questions I am not sure I can answer all but the background checks may have something that the President Condoleeza and Chertoff are all on the board and Homeland Security and they are requiring it.I do not give to the red cross any more since Katrina and I do not think they handle the money properly I give to the Salvation Army I hope Bush an his cronies do not take that over.- Reply to this comment
- Johber it makes no difference every agency has its own set of rules and regulations it follows, that includes Background checks and hiring practices. It does not matter that someone has had one done by a different agency at some point before. Things change and it is a requirement and a good one at that.

Can you believe this Marcodele the whole debockle to control it all justice dept supreme court now I find there on the board of the Red Cross along with condoleeza and Chertoff Good golly Miss Molly what else do they have there finger in the pie in. - Reply to this comment
- Interesting fact I didn''''t know before Googling around. The ARC Board of Directors is appointed by the sitting U.S. President. Appropriately, President Bush announced his appointments to the ARC Board on April 1, 2005. They include Michael Chertoff and Condoleezza Rice. The Board selects the ARC CEO. Small wonder they selected a fellow Neoconservative for the post last time around. Perhaps this might be a good time to reward Alberto Gonzalez for his service. Half a million a year ain''''t no chump change.

Carlad1958 here is your answer another organization I think has had its share of bad dealings and You are right I refuse to give to the Red Cross they just do not allocate the money the way we think it is going it is salvation army for me - Reply to this comment
- I think what drowns these appointments in their own petard is what has happened consistently with all these political appointments throghout this administration. They set the bar so high for so called moral, uprighteous, Christian, family values that when incompetance, lack of judgment, corruption befalls them, they fall harder.
How many more months do we have until election? - Reply to this comment
